We are trying to plan Christmas at our house this year, for about 12 people. Has anybody got any ideas for Christmas games? Apart from the usual charades etc.. Thanks!

I'm glad you asked that question Minskerella, I'm having christmas at our place for the first time and I want it to be fun. So want a few games that we can try out.

Right out a list of say Christmas Song (although any theme will do) two bits of paper per person, one with the song title on and the other bit to draw the song title on.

Then you pass round the drawings and everyone writes down on their list what they think the other people have drawn. No words allowed

Bar of chocolate, a dice, pair of large gloves, scarf and hat. Put the bar of chocolate still wrapped on a tray along with a knife and fork. First person to throw a six puts on the hat, gloves and scarf and tries to get a bit of chocolate using the knife and fork. As soon as another person throws a six the first person must stop and hand over the hat, scarf and gloves etc.

Sticky labels with a celebrity or film star written on it and stick this either on people's forehead or their back and by asking questions of other people they have to try and guess who they are.

An old one but a goodie, everyone in a circle and pass round a pair of scissors very carefully. One person has to say wether its crossed or uncrossed while the scissors are passed person to person.

In fact the answer crossed or uncrossed is dependant on if the person passing has their legs crossed or not but it takes a while as everyone is concentrating on the pair of scissors

Cut and paste pictures from magazines etc on to a piece of paper and people have to guess which Christmas TV programme the pictures represent

Same can be done with songs.

Another oldie, everyone sits down on chairs in a circle and one person is blindfolded and turned round a couple of times to confuse them. They then have to sit on the nearest knee and they say Duckie, Duckie. The person whose knee they sit on can only reply by saying Quack Quack and you have to guess who it is.

Two really old games I still have are called The Shopping List and Railways.

This involved cards placed round the house with lists of shopping or stations on them which read things like "bread now find milk" or "Waterloo now find Dingwall". Everyone was given a card with a starting point on it say "bread" and they had to find the card that said "bread" on it then head off to find the card with "milk" on it. First person back with a correct shopping list was the winner.

Hide and seek done in the dark. One person goes off and hides and after a due time everyone goes to look for them. Once you find the person you have to hide with them until such times everyone is then crammed into the hiding place.

Be careful if the person should be standing behind the toilet, once lost my slipper in the toilet as I didn't realise the toilet lid was still up

Then of course there are the team games, two teams and you have to pass a balloon up and down the team not using any hands with the balloon between your legs, then a match box sleeve passing it from nose to nose and an orange passing from under the chin. Frozen peas using a straw only.
